Kekkaishi

When did she do it the first time?

Also not surprising I think it continuing would be more of a curve ball.

Um, First time when she sacrificed her time with her children to go look for places where they could put Chuushinmaru, all this time away from her kids, just for their sake, so they don't get hurt.

Tokimori said this all.

Maybe this is just me, but that's not sacrificing your life. Now if your theory is true then this time she could be sacrificing her life. The first time would be her family life at best. Still don't know why looking for the new place was a 100% full time deal and she could not come home even for a weekend.

343 scanlation out

A few 344 spoiler pics

Kekk ends at 345, and Hiromu Arakawa (of FMA fame) starts her weekly manga in that slot.

What do you think the odds are of Kekkaishi getting a second anime season to finish out the story?

Chapter 343

If the comic is ending in a few issues, what is the point of introducing new characters like "The Gazer?"

To conclude the arc? I don't know he liked him? The gazer was a character instead of that land god. Maybe he's planning a sequel with Tokine's and Yoshimori's kid, and they have to deal with whatever those things are.

So uh, still watching the dub, and I have a question about later episodes, for those of you more knowledgable about the series.

What the hell happened to Tenketsu? Weren't they supposed to use that to warp away destroyed Ayakashi before they're able to reform and regenerate? In recent episodes, they're just imploding the monsters and calling it good. Is there a reason for this?

Kekkaishi has a seperate Anime thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=smntvlnsqkz3krxxtp2y5ax8

This is a manga, and hence, a spoiler zone.

But since your question is relevant to the manga as well, here is the simple answer: because clean-up is darn boring to draw every-time.

So will they have to use tenketsu and the restoration tech to clean and repair the place every time, it's just no longer shown on screen.

344 out!

Tearjerker + Downer Ending imminent. Get the tissues ready!

Just one chappie left, it better be good!

There's room for some wild mass guesses:

1) Is Shiichiro walking into a trap?

2) Will Yoshimori leave his world sealed off or vow to open a gateway?

3) Will Shiichiro and Yoshimori be invited to the new executive council?

We only have one chapter left so I don't think that Yoshimori can do much simple because of the time constraints. I do hope we get conclusive evidence that Tokine and Yoshimori end up together. I hate ambiguous endings.

345 (final) chapter out!

Just change the .jpeg extension of the file to .zip (or was it .rar?) and uncompress as usual. The scanlators are such jerks.

My views later on, gotta read the chappie!

That was kinda adorable. I'm going to miss this series it was good. Oh well all good things and other such nonsense.

An awesome manga deserves more reviews.

Make sure to tell your friends.

I crunched through this in two days and am reading through it once more, and I have to say...

It's really good. There's very little filler and the plot unfolds rather smoothly. This is Tanabe's first series as well, but it's incredibly well done. This might have fallen apart after a few volumes if she hadn't introduced Masamori as a parallel protagonist, so I'm glad he was introduced.

Two complaints I have are that Shishio is killed off far too fast in the relative scale of the series, and his death doesn't really have the impact it should have had on me. I also felt Sumiko could have been fleshed out more through flashbacks, as I would've liked to know a little more about the influence her life has had on her family.

Someone really needs to add on to the trope page though. It feels bare despite the series having so many characters.

Binger's prerogative, meaning you found it and liked it, you add to the page. Kind of like my case and Narue No Sekai...

I probably will try to at some point, but I can be really vague and roundabout when it comes to writing. I can't trust myself not to fuck up even the most basic formats.

So far as formatting goes if I was ever unsure of how it worked I'd go to a page that had the same thing I wanted then just copied the formatting from there.

Does the author have another series now?

I don't think so, unfortunately.

And now the author does have a new series. It's being scanlated by the Red Hawks. It's called Laughter In The End Of The World.

Also I just reread the series and when Yoshimori makes Gen at the very end still tugs at my heart strings.

Thanks bro!

Laughter in the End of the World is done. I considered making a thread for it, but it's only five chapters long.

The final chapter was awesome; as you'd expect he chews out the ungrateful bastards. Adding that to the interesting setting of which we've only seen a glimpse of... basically I wish the author continued the story instead of letting it end there.

On the bright side, Tanabe has another story lined up apparently, so I'm looking forward to that!

WHOA! That was a very short story! But an awesome one.
